Confused About Foreskins!

I hope I am posting this in the right place? I am new to Mumsnet and wanted to know if any mums have any thoughts or advice?

My son is two and his foreskin is still closed and I am very confused as to when to pull it back, if at all? My confusion is made worse, as my first boy, who is now 10, was circumcised, shortly after being born, so I did not have to deal with a foreskin with him! My ex was also circumcised, so, all in all, I am a novice when it comes to foreskins, both with my boys, but also as a woman, as my ex husband was my only sexual experience.

I chose to not circumcise my youngest, and want to have him deal with the foreskin, as and when. My GP has said I have no urgency, but when he pees his little foreskin does balloon out, as it seems very tight. He seems to get a lot of erections, too and I wonder if this is due to the skin not retracting?

When can I pull it back, simply to clean and get him into a routine of cleaning under it?
